Skills allows you to add, edit, or remove information about skills and test scores.

NOTE: StaffSuite also allows you to add an employee's record, including some of this information, by parsing the employee's electronic resume. In addition, if you notice that an existing employee's information is out of date, and you have a current resume from that employee, you can parse the resume to update the existing skills.
